Episode 51: By Any Other Name: Space Invaders

SEM and Chelsea are still watching season 2 of Star Trek: The Original Series! This time, we watched “By Any Other Name,” an episode about horrifying tentacle monsters who basically just look like human beings who make slightly off fashion choices.

This episode is extremely topical because we make references to orbs again, the hot new craze everyone loves and worships. Oh, and the Enterprise gets taken over by secret tentacle monsters or whatever. Seriously, we never see their true forms. Scotty makes a beautiful sacrifice, Kirk is a femme fatale, and Spock is secretly pretty conniving.
